Gift Ideas for the Pet and Pet Lover on Your List

Pets have been shown to lower our blood pressure and stress, improve our self-worth and social connection, and even increase how much activity we get. Any way you slice it, animal companions are good for us.

Return the favour this holiday season with gifts that take care of them — and their owners, too.
